  1. Called 3rd strikes to end the game is just pathetic. Not even a count that he could walk on. Just tired, Gallo.
  2. I have not. I haven't seen him since he moved to Florida (I think it was Florida) after his divorce. He did love baseball, though. Still does, I'm sure. He is a great guy. Always doing gigs for homeless benefits and back then was involved in Aids Support Group with his wife.
  3. Damn. The last 3 pitches to Buxton were served up for damage.
  4. "Armed Forces Day, established by President Harry S. Truman in 1949, is traditionally celebrated each year on the third Saturday of May. Throughout the weekend, MLB players and coaches will wear camouflage-designed caps, as well as optional camo-themed socks."
  5. Ha! I know John. My wife then, Eli Frantzen, did the painting for the Family Garden album cover in 1993. We all lived in Charlottesville, VA at the time.
  6. One pitch. There goes the no-hitter.
  7. Easy Fix. Every learns to bunt. Bunt well with the bases loaded and no outs - score a run and give up an out at first. Bunt well. Buxton probably is safe at first. At least you get a run.
  8. Pagan, Lopez, and Duran had a day off yesterday. Of the three, Pagan had 41 pitches thrown the last 3 days, Lopez 35, and Duran 18. Sometimes you need to bring in your best pitcher before the 9th. Pagan did have a couple perfect pitches called balls though (1 and 4) to Heyward. The pitches a pitcher deserves most. The perfectly placed strike. Barely a strike. And he got screwed by the inadequate plate ump. The theme of the series. Heyward struck out looking on the 4th pitch with an acurate system to call balls and strikes.
  9. But he is a vet and has that great baseball IQ and knows how to get ready for the season. Baldelli keeps telling us that.
  10. Wasted ink over and over for Pagan. Never should have been resigned. But yet, people waste time advocating for it. Take that stuff and ................ Baldelli just has to go to Pagan. Pagan, Lopez, and Duran had a day off yesterday. Of the three, Pagan had 41 pitches thrown the last 3 days, Lopez 35, and Duran 18. Did he not see De Leon strike Betts and Freeman out on 6 pitches? You need 7 outs with the one run lead. And there is a day off tomorrow. And Baldelli choses the worst pitcher of the bunch with the most pitches (more than double Duran's) to hold the lead with 2 on. Gordon wasn't hurt when he lazily let that ball drop for a triple, was he? La de da maybe I will get there nope I guess not where did it go anyway.......
  11. I didn't either. But I didn't say it, just thought it. So I was quietly wrong. But hey, one time again we won't like it and we will inevitably be correct.
  12. I don't agree, and been listening to the TV guys all night. It sounded like a compliment to me.
  13. damn. 9 hitter too. and just when it looked like Jax would get a clean inning for a change. top of the order.....
  14. That fishing pole is really tired. Far cry from the regal robe of Cruz days.
  15. Taylor is getting some slow reads on the fly ball lately. He almost bobbled that last one too as he opened his glove.
  16. Correa has a cannon arm. That is his trade mark, no? We are talking Correa, here, right? And he said in an interview he is bouncing it on purpose because it gets there faster....... which it does not with the same strong throw.
  17. 4 change-ups in a row. Et tu, Jeffers?
  18. Shortest distance between two points, is a rope to first with a cannon arm. The throwing arm is already at chest height. Plus, the friction of the ball on the ground increases the drag. And the double bounce? More friction, and slower yet.
  19. Ha. We got Gallo and Taylor for their fielding......... ENOUGH WITH THESE LEAD-0FF DOUBLES ALREADY!
  20. Punto said you get to first quicker with a head first slide......... hmmmm
